Order through us and we'll talk with you until we understand JUST HOW YOU WANT IT, and THEN DO IT THAT WAY. Imagine that, internet shopping and getting a CUSTOM setup on your bass just like you want it.
Wow! If you play standup bass, you must visit this place at least once in your life. Tom is an expert in maintaining, repairing, and restoring instruments… and he is very generous and friendly with his knowledge. He has amassed a great collection of basses in all ranges, and also does excellent pickup and amp setups (that you won’t find anywhere else). If you can’t get there in person, give him a call… they ship parts and whole basses worldwide.

What a great place! Got my violin repaired and it was quick and perfect. Loved all the basses that I could play with while waiting.

Words cannot describe the experience I had while meeting with Tom about a cello I was interested in. His passion for music, instruments, and the musician themself is above any scale. Tom explained from the musical history of the cello, the different variations of cellos and how they reciprocate different unique sounds, the different type of strings, etc. The amount of detail he went into for every aspect allowed for me to choose the best cello and bow that suited me best. The knowledge he passed down to me made me feel confident about my purchase and I had no second thoughts about it. There was no gray area. Not only was the condition of the instrument superb, he added a cello case for free to me and allowed me to choose the best bow I preferred without extra charge. The price of the cello I purchased is more than $2000+ more expensive at different sellers. Overall, the experience was 12/10 and I'm glad there are still musicians who have such a passion for music, instruments, and the musicians they are helping. I will be back in the future when I need things for my instruments. :)
